Old Town is Complete -- 2025 Bonnie Hunter Mystery

 I finished my 2025 Bonnie Hunter mystery called Old Town with plenty of time to spare before the next mystery begins NOVEMBER 21!  Read about it on Bonnie's blog,  Quiltville Quips & Snips!  I have all the colors ready in bins for it!  Woohoo!


My Old Town has an extra little border added because I don't like longarm quilting all those little pieces on the edge.  It measures 84" square.  I longarm quilted it with an edge to edge design called Loopys using my Circle Lord giant template board.  The binding is the same fabric as the outer border.  This time the binding is HAND STITCHED!  It took a whole Netflix series of Dead to Me to finish all of that, but I really do like the finished look of a hand-stitched binding on this quilt.  It does not have a home yet.


The backing was made of big chunks of light pieces from my stash, of course.  It really does lay flat.  I just was a little pressed for time when I took the photos.

I agree, great finish! Your list has inspired me to go take an inventory of my UFOs and to get a couple crossed off. It’s always the next shiny thing haha!! Have a great weekend filled with sewing!
